First Ride on a BRAND NEW 2023 Honda Grom

[@ItachiUchiha-jv3rf]

What's up from the Bronx. Fellow Grom rider 2022. Welcome brotha!!

[@57Jimmy]

I’m 5’9” on the backside of 65, have a CRF300L…and vertigo. Loved the 300 but have flopped it or nearly flopped it several times when coming to a stop when it springs back on the suspension and for me it is heavy and a real strain to get the bike back up. Just bought a new GROM and it’s a PERFECT fit! The Mrs has a Ruckus and I would always take hers instead of mine for running errands. Also trailer both bikes to campsites and there is SO MUCH more room not to mention light weight and easy to shift around to get in the perfect spot! Lol. The GROM will certainly take me anywhere I want, even on back country gravel roads and paths!

[@IamLation]

Heck yeah man that’s awesome

[@miketran4289]

I saw that video where guy breaks his fairing on his new Grom.. But anyhoo.. Grom's are awesome commuters and I'm never getting rid of mine even though I got a bigger one for highway use.

[@IamLation]

Hahah oh wow & yeah man, these things are super fun and nice commuters for sure

[@Ezdrumms]

Same grom I got since I’m a new rider, it’s been super smooth learning how to ride aside from a couple Messups shifting to second gear, but I haven’t spilled it yet so I’m proud haha

[@IamLation]

Awesome man!

[@19hundoc47]

I’m not a beginner and not a stunter, it’s just a cool bike to have!

[@IamLation]

Absolutely

[@k20dylan]

Talking about dank wheelie in the first clip lmao

[@IamLation]

😂

[@nyraven125]

Was expecting to see you're sister reaction

[@IamLation]

Yeah I messed all that up my bad 😂

[@joejoe6949]

Believe it or not that one of the most beautiful places in the states. I’ve seen.

[@fishontv123]

Was thinking about this as a first bike (I'm 5'3), but for me, I think its worth it to just get a Kawasaki Z400, as I know it'll be better for a couple years for my situation. I live in Jersey as well (Medford). Plan on taking my MSF course in a couple months. One thing I will say is enticing about the Grom is that price point and being able to resell it later on.

[@IamLation]

Yeah probably a good choice! And ohh a fellow New Jersian hahah but yeah enjoy the course, it’s worth it!

[@BaconWhisky]

I love my Grom, and this is coming from a guy who also owns a Harley lol (I am 5'4). It's a super fun lightweight bike. Super easy to maneuver and get around on. I commute to work on mine almost daily

[@fishontv123]

@@BaconWhisky I'm 5'3, so your review definitely checks a box there lol

[@Myndi78]

I might seem unstable because both because of weight but also because the frontsuspension is kind of crappy. Öhlins makes inserts for it.

[@javi6014]

I love th3m in vineland they got good deals in there I live right behind the dealership love th3 grom do good luck with it

[@IamLation]

Yeah they’re great people in there & thanks!

[@gsxrveli]

nice those groms are so fun

[@IamLation]

They really are hahah

[@brandonvansnick5411]

Just got a grom as my first bike lets goooo

[@IamLation]

Heck yeah congrats!

[@brandonvansnick5411]

@@IamLation Thank you 🙌🏼 I’ll have a blast even tho I’m 6’1 aha

[@Motolife84]

I just passed my oregon motorcycle endorsement course, and I'm getting one that's what they had me riding

[@IamLation]

Ayyy congratulations man, ride safe!

[@freedomcanada8397]

Grom is the perfect bike to get as a beginner and to coax ur friends into grtting their motorcycle license

[@omarcarrillos2727]

My 1300cc is up for sale, and it feels like the grom is the way to go.

[@IamLation]

Dang that’s a big change!

[@jayefe17]

I wish these were in my country. It breaks my heart that there is no grom in sight

[@IamLation]

Oh no 😦 that’s terrible

[@jayefe17]

@@IamLation Thanks for sympathising. Still a bike learner and a relatively small man so mini bikes are perfect for me, but no grom, no monkey, no z125 pro. I hope it changes soon though

[@IamLation]

@@jayefe17 Dang man, yeah i really hope that changes for you absolutely. That's gotta be annoying!

[@mikehimes4833]

Where did u find one for 3400?

[@IamLation]

They are $3,500 brand new, we got it at Lilliston Honda in Vineland NJ, that's not counting $900-ish in title, taxes, tags etc. I can't remember if we got it for $3,400 or $3,500 to be honest but yeah that just what these bikes cost brand new.

[@mikehimes4833]

@@IamLation thanks for the reply if u don’t mind me asking what did u get it for out the door?? Under 45?

[@IamLation]

Of course & out the door with taxes, title, tags etc + the bike itself was somewhere around $4400ish

[@loganwdavidson]

@@mikehimes4833 around $4500 out the door brand new 2023 as well

[@mikehimes4833]

@@loganwdavidson hell yeah thanks guys

[@ken8212]

Do some Honda Grom shenanigans 😆

[@IamLation]

I definitely will hahaha

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Did you say what you paid out the door? Can I expect $4500?

[@IamLation]

Yeah I mentioned the out the door price, and I’d hope so!

[@19hundoc47]

I was OTD at 4058 on a red 2023

[@stonerzz1]

I don't think Honda Grom is a beginner bike I think it's more of a commuter bike not to mention it's a cheap name brand from a reputable company it gets great fuel economy it's good for just riding to work they're simple and easy to work on the new ones have an oil filter and an expanded gearbox just great little motorcycles for Puttin around I know my insurance is relatively cheap mine now has off-road tires and they used to go on trails around town it's just an all-around great with a commuter

[@IamLation]

Absolutely

[@Mr450pro]

In my country they cost 5900$ 🙄🔫 I’m learning on a Honda 600 right now and taking my license on it. and tried my 22 for the first time. Man that little bike is so fun to ride and you have absolutely no fear riding that little bike. Can’t wait to ride it again Btw. Let’s see wenn your sister practice, I would love to see that.

[@IamLation]

Dang man, big bike to be learning on! But yeah that sticker price is certainly too high for a grom. And i'll try my best! Warmer weather is coming so I think we'll start to see some awesome videos.

[@V4p3rcl0ud]

No stabilizer, that's your feeling

[@IamLation]

Ohhh! Makes sense haha thanks!

[@mightymikethebear]

It looks like a fun bike.

[@IamLation]

It really is hahah

[@top-ennis6932]

i hate when people say Honda groms are $3499 i just tried to buy the 2023 Honda grom from redline in myrtle beach and they quoted me at $4800 for a stock 2023 or $5800 for a 2023 with a Yoshimura exhaust. they msrp at $3499 that is what the dealer ship pays for them

[@thejeremymotley]

yup this is why i always buy used, got my grom for 2500 with 19 miles

[@bryanpark5321]

Does it need a motorcycle license??

[@IamLation]

Yeah you do, at least in New Jersey that is. I don’t know about elsewhere.

[@bryanpark5321]

Appreciate it man!! Can I still ride it with a driver license??

[@IamLation]

@@bryanpark5321 depends where you live, in NJ where I’m at yeah you need a motorcycle endorsement on your license

[@bryanpark5321]

@@IamLation thanks for the info !!

[@themechanic4222]

Anything over 49cc it does require M endorsement on your license❤

[@thegamingalex3947]

Should have her on the cbr500r, great beginner bike. ;) lmao Also, i got a funnnyyy feeling that isnt a coffman's shorty exhaust... :o lmao

[@IamLation]

She learned the basics on the 500, hahah! And yeah I didn’t even pay attention to that 🥴 I usually make my 500R videos so just copy paste but now it’s wrong lmao oops
